<< Prev Page 2 of 3 Next >> Volvo has been on a winning streak with its concept cars. The Concept Coupé was named "Car of the Show" by a leading German auto magazine at the Frankfurt Motor Show, while the Concept XC Coupé received the prestigious "Eyes ON Design" award at the Detroit Motor Show.
Global attention on Volvo's concept cars has been intensifying as they provide the first significant clues as to how the all-new and much-anticipated XC90 SUV and subsequent cars will look. The XC90 is due to be launched later this year.
The rear of Concept Estate echoes the design of the Volvo 1800 ES from the early 1970s.
"The 1800-models are iconic Volvos, renowned for their beautiful forms and detailing. However, using elements from their exterior and interior has nothing to do with being retro. We are using these subtle links to a glorious past to create a future in which sheer beauty becomes a recognized part of Volvo's identity," says Ingenlath.
The subtle inspiration from the 1800-models is also evident on several details inside the Concept Estate, such as the two-spoke steering wheel, the instrument panel and the dials.
Page explains: "The first four decades of the Volvo history was characterized by classic craftsmanship and high quality materials. We are merging this vital part of our brand DNA with the more recent focus on technology and smart functionality. In the Concept Estate we also add the creative side of Scandinavia. The result is an exotic interior with genuine materials and beautiful detailing." << Prev Page 2 of 3 Next >>
